Syntax error: Unexpected token in src/index.ts

See original GitHub issue

During compilation i get this error

error: bundling failed: SyntaxError: .../node_modules/react-native-device-info/src/index.ts: Unexpected token (12:12)

I guess this is maybe because I am not using TypeScript in my project. Should I? I tried to remove the field react-native from the package.json of your module - and this error gone. Could you please recommend how to fix this?

I have the same error today after upgrading to 8.0.1 from 2.x.

I had to remove Line 5react-native": "src/index.ts", from node_modules/react-native-device-info/package.json to make it work.

I had a similar issue. I upgraded it from 2.1.2 to the 8.4.4 version and my react-native version is (0.59.10). I don’t use typescript in my project. Having the following dev dependencies fixed this issue for me.

“devDependencies”: { “@babel/core”: “^7.9.0”, “@babel/runtime”: “^7.9.2”, //other dev dependencies }
